On this episode of The Paul Weller Fan Podcast, I am joined by Scottish author, David F. Ross.David is an architect by day, and a hilarious social-media commentator, author and enabler by night. His debut novel The Last Days of Disco inspired by The Jam's 1979 classic album - Setting Sons - became an international best-seller in 2015..."The Jam were my first favourite band, and you never really forget your first love."We learn all about his discovery of The Jam in the late 1970s, and the influences and connections that remain in play to this day. The thrill of live performance being one example. David has seen Paul Weller on stage in one incarnation or another on close to thirty occasions. His very first gig was seeing the band when he was fifteen at Glasgow Apollo on 8th December 1979 - and he went on to see them live at Newcastle City Hall, Hammersmith Odeon, and even The Magnum in Irvine!....The lyrics and words that Paul used in those songs that still mean so much to David and so many others to this day. An example being "That's Entertainment" - a song that David has described as "The greatest song in the English language. Paul Weller captured much of that humdrum, everyday boredom of teenage life in Thatcher's Britain in The Jam songs of the late 70s and early 80s. It's a brilliant evocation of those times, and I can identify absolutely with every line."David's own writing owes an embryonic debt to Paul Weller, and to Setting Sons in particular. "I find that complex blend of youthful working-class hope coming apart at the seams of adult and mid-life pressures very relatable. It's a powerful canvas on which to play out dramatic ideas about people and relationships, and one I return to regularly."The Style Council... pop innovation...Paul, Mick, Dee, Steve and the music created with honorary councillors a plenty also meant so much to David in the 1980s to now. A connection formed through the great songs again but also the image, the fashion, the sophistication, their core values, and, of course, the more overtly political approach to the lyrics... the power of words once again..."...The Style Council weren't given the credit for pop innovation and chameleon diversity that the songs deserved, especially those on those first two scintillating LPs."David saw TSC on numerous occasions live including the very last night of the Glasgow Apollo, 16th June, 1985. (and in Manchester the night before - because "why not?")."Still sounding essential and indispensable...As you would expect, Paul Weller's solo years have been, and continue to be a huge influence on David - both personally and in his career as an author. Writing a fabulous blog on Paul's 2023 Hamburg gig he remarked... "In the early 90s, at the dawning of Weller's solo career, it happened again. Marriage, kids, emerging personal and professional responsibilities; all relatable touchstones beginning to work their way into his lyrics just as they became catalysts for my own altered priorities."

These are a series of short Q&A chats we had earlier this year with some of our friends, all about their love affair with live music. We were due to publish them 6 months ago - however the hard drive with the edited audio and song inserts corrupted! We had great fun doing them, and have therefore decided to go ahead and publish the Zoom videos in full, with audio version on streaming platforms. This episode is with the writer, architect and general cool cat David F Ross. Really interesting answers, funny and honest to boot. Hope you enjoy them, and big thanks again to David for taking part. PS the song links at the end of the You Tube video are connected to some of David's artist and gig selections. Enjoy and stay safe.

For the latest SWH! podcast Ali spoke once again to writer David F. Ross to talk about his most recent novel 'Dashboard Elvis Is Dead', which is out now published by Orenda Books. The two caught up in Ali's kitchen and the conversation covers David's reasons for wanting to write this book, the inspirations behind it, the strong bonds created between author and their characters, why it was important to have a Scottish strand in the plot, the challenges in writing about real events, and a whole lot more. They also discuss the importance of American culture in both their lives, and the complex nature of that relationship. It's always a pleasure to talk to David as there are few writers who talk about what they do with such clarity and self-reflection.

Welcome to Episode 4 of our music podcast that is working to create the definitive list of the greatest 100 albums ever. So far, we have reviewed 15 from the latest Rolling Stone list and voted 8 in. On this episode we review 5 more from John Lennon, AC/DC, Beyonce, Dusty Springfield & Sly/Family Stone. Our podcast panel is on fine form as usual, although there are the usual bloopers in there ( take a bow Lisa ). Of the 5, only 2 were voted onto our revised list. ( tough school or what!) More importantly, we have our first guest joining on this episode. David F Ross is an acclaimed writer, and a big music fan. As we hoped, he adds a bit of quality to our chat, and its all the better for it. He also nominated an album that should be on the final list, and we will get round to reviewing that in a future episode. Until next time, enjoy & stay safe.

Tam and Stuart are joined by Paul Craig and David F Ross, discussing all things: The World Cup; Saints For Sale; One Word: Fights; I Couldn't Care Less; and The Elvis XI!
